Is it possible to trick my body to start growing? I'm 21 years old and I'm pretty tired of being short. I don't care if I have to shave off 10 years of my life just to be taller. Would human growth hormone work?

>> No.5249796

Yes, but you have to stick it in your asshole. It absorbed better there.

>> No.5249816

Human growth hormone is a bodybuilding suppliment, it won't make you taller. But you can take that and work out to make up for your short size.

>> No.5249818

Yeah, but it takes some pretty complicated hormonal treatment. Look into this thing called endocrinology looking for growth treatment.

Play basketball.
srsly

For some reason all my friends who played basketball grew taller even though we were all the same height at the start.

I think basketball has growing magic in it.

Theres a thing you can do where you apply about 10lbs of pressure to all the joints of your longbones, repeating daily. Its supposed to cause small fissures which make room for the re propagation of your growth plates. Ive heard good things about this method, but Ive never actually met anyone who's tried it.

Break your shins, get them put back together to make you a little bit taller, repeat.

It's called distraction osteogenesis.

It's expensive as fuck and it hurts like hell, so I guess the real question is how badly do you want to be tall?

there actually is a surgery where they break the long bones in your legs, screw pieces of metal onto the bones to keep them connected, sew you up, let you heal a little, then every month they cut you back open, use a ratchet to increase the distance of your bone break a fraction of an inch until you gain up to 2 inches of added height...
Along with your new height you'll also get hideous leg scars, unbearable pain, and cartoon disproportionate leg limbs.

If i was competing with another man for a woman, naturally the taller one would be selected.

>> No.5249954

>>5249924

That's because you attract none. It's like food, the more hungry you are, more you want to eat. The less females you get, more you than them. And by wanting them that much you will feel anxious and insecure near them, which's something they hate about men and will almost always see. It's easier to put your lack of confidence in your physical appearance, instead of recognizing it is not the main factor when you want a relationship which is worth it.

Definitely agreed, charisma is important.

OP, you have a negative modifier. That makes it harder, and if you don't have a lot of other stuff going for you, that sucks. But this doesn't make it impossible.

Read some books on improving your charisma/game. Find a career that nets you good money. Take care of your teeth and dress well.

It's pretty obvious when a 6 ft jock would be picked over a 5"7 ft who's not fit or charismatic. To make things worse, I have a severe hearing problem for whatever reason that may be. (I still haven't figured out why it is so like that)

You can't tell me that being taller doesn't increase my chances with women.

A 5"8 Jock would also be picked first. It's not the height there so much as the buff build, and the fact that jocks tend to be the ones who are alpha. It's the alpha that they like.

Back to the main topic:
I'm 19, 5'6 and was wondering if I could do anything to make me grow more?
Consider that I had a late adolescence growth (I may have reached this height a year or two ago), I've got no chest hair, only beard I can 'grow' is in chin and moustache, which all promps me to believe I haven't yet finished growing.
So I wanna grow as much as possible while I still can.. is there anything that I can eat or do that would push me in the right direction?

I eat well (and a lot) and am trying to sleep a lot too (although I cant always do that), and I work out.

I am currently dating a shorter girl, I work out, I have confidence and all.
It's just that being a little bit taller would be a lot more comfortable.
Pants would be of my fucking leg lenght, I would be able to see at least a little something at concerts, t-shirts wont go past my fucking groin.

Maybe there is some food or supplemet which just prompts growth? I drink a lot of milk btw (I just love it)
